I bought a sony bravia kdl-32v5500 about a year ago mainly with the desire to watch HD movies. I did not buy a surround sound system to go with it. I connected my Blu-ray player, a Sony Bdp-360 via HDMI. I've spent most of this year struggling to hear the vocal track of the blu-ray without turning it up to such a volume that any music or sound effects come through blaringly loud. I've changed so many sound setting on the tele to improve the sound that I couldn't even begin to list the different combinations I've used. I've certainly managed to improve things a little by turning on the s-force feature and increasing the voice zoom and after watching a couple of blu rays I thought that I had things sorted out but the other day I watched "War of the Worlds" and the same old problems were back again....very low vocals and uncomfortably loud effects. I accept that these teles only have two small speakers but I do not believe Bravias handle the 5.1 or 7.1 sound well, at all. I'm annoyed that I wasn't told at the time of buying the blu-ray player and tv that there is not much point if you don't have the surround sound system as well. Am I right in thinking this or do others believe as I do that these teles should be processing the digital sound correctly without the use of a surround system. Have others experienced this frustration?
